Is there a way put vanilla in read-only mode?

I've wanted to temporarily turn off things like new user registration, creating new discussion, commenting, anything that can write something to database. So users can only read discussions and nothing else. I think it will be a handy thing to be able to do.

I remember that I've seen a discussion about that on GitHub but by now there is no inbuilt Vanilla way to do so. But there is a plugin... http://vanillaforums.org/addon/readonly-plugin

You can revoke every right but the view right for every role. Then add a message (under /dashboard/message) to your forum and that's what you try to achieve.
